I was just wondering - these notes are printed on a sheet of 40.  Wouldn't that mean that there are other similar notes possibly circulating?  ie. 9 x 40 sheets? = minimum 360 notes floating around somewhere?
Not necessarily. Remember that this is an issue with the numbering, and there are 40 (or 36 or 45) numbering machines per sheet. So, I would suggest that the error would be produced in a vertical stack (like a run in a brick), but that it would be unlikely to affect other positions in the ream.

Perhaps Tom could offer another more knowledgable opinion?

Hi, I know my name is not Tom ;) but,
Brent is right. This has to do with the rotation of the tumblers.  The tumbler that occupied this position obviously had a problem.   The other positions would not be affected.  If it were an Ink misalignment for example, then the whole sheet would be affected.

Correct, the error would be at the same position on each sheet, then consecutive in each stack or bundle.
